EXCERPT:
“Mayday, Mayday,
Black Hammer is hit; I repeat: Mayday, Black Hammer is hit. We’re going down.”
Bucky’s voice may have seemed calm to an outsider, but those who knew him
understood he was anything but calm. “Mayday, Mayday. Black Hammer’s current
location: thirty-three Lat by seventy Long. Repeat. Mayday, Mayday.” Bucky
choked out as the cabin of the helicopter quickly filled with smoke.
Samuel J. Stone looked at the other five
members of his team. “Fuck,” he mumbled, wondering if perhaps they weren’t
going to make it out of this one. He yelled at his best friend Benoit. “After
all the fucked-up shit we’ve been through, I’m not gonna fucking die splattered
on the side of some mountain in this hellhole.”
“Vasquez, get that damn door open,” Stone
yelled across the cabin to the other Marine.
“Gettin’ it, Stone,” Vasquez answered his
lieutenant.
Stone opened the opposite door, letting
some of the thick smoke billow out of the burning helicopter. He and his fellow
Marine, Benoit, looked out the open door. They could tell they were going down
fast.
“We’re still too high to jump,” Stone
yelled at the others trapped in the flaming bird.
“If there was anywhere to fucking
jump to,” Benoit yelled back.
Even with both side doors open, the cold
winter wind whipping through the cabin, the acrid black smoke continued to
surge in, making their eyes burn, their chests constrict with the lack of
breathable air. There was a bitter taste in Stone’s mouth from inhaling the
foulness of burning rubber and jet fuel.
Using hand signals to keep from yelling
to be heard, Stone motioned for Vasquez and the two others to use the door they
had just opened to escape through, while he and Benoit and the new kid,
Saundersen, would use the one opposite.
The high-pitched scream of the rotor
motor was loud enough to pierce the ear-protection headphones, making it nearly
impossible to speak. Each man could barely hear Bucky still calling out a
Mayday over the radio, through the headsets.
